Its been a while

Hi AllIts been a while since I spoke to you. Lots have been happening and I have been busy.I had a great time at the bike fest, My project "BUSTED KNUCKLE" went down very well and raised a lot of money for Magpas. I also sold a lot of my craft work.I picked up some orders,so that kept me busy for a while, I put my minis on Ebay and sold the lot!! so pleased. I then got asked to have a table at the Avon Christmas party in December, in aid of cancer, I have been busy making minis and crafts to sell.I went to Edinburgh to stay with my son and his wife and of course to see baby Jack, I got him to myself, which was lovely. They have since been home for a few days, so got to hold him again. They will be back at Christmas.Jan, from the shop asked me to make some small baby gifts to put in her shop.I finally got my wet room, this has made my life much easier, After that we decided to freshen up the rest of the bungalow, now waiting for the flooring to be done. In amongst all this my sister-in-law gave up the fight she was having with cancer,this is a very sad time for the family,she was only 51 and leaves 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren.Her funeral was last week. Now hopefully my nieces can begin to pick up their lives.Anyway, I have been busy making loads of stuff for my table top sale, I will be having a mixture of minis and crafts, this week I need to sort out what I have made and to see what else I need to do.So you can see I have been busy, life is beginning to slow down so hopefully I will now be back to blogging, I have missed it, I have been keeping up to date with all your blogs and your lovely work.Right her is the evidence in the form of photos.
